Later, in the slats of sunlight that graced the floor, we read the guy's words again. It was written down (even memorized?) that "no one feels like they belong", similar to dummy boats, hollowed pine shells in deserts or with flat rocks under them, waterless and fretting. There it is again, two worlds. One on fire and one smoking, in the way you talk about fire crawling down slopes, we know that what's real is not flamable. Plump red fingers slide into streams down your smoking back. The point is, is that though a phantom, it is still ripping through the blinds behind his head. Just the same, I am just saying, he didn't flinch. You know, don't you respond in a fluttering eyes way. Sit there with ears open and wait. Behind him and his burning face, out in the garden covered with jumbo trees and whining sounds, lotus leaves float secretly past the window. Just so, he raises his double phoenix and you shy away, your collarbone cracked in spite of expensive armor and turquoise spells. Anyhow, when the smoke cleared he was still there, and the whole house was silent.

I met Mike in 1963 when we both attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He was an incredible artist then and is still creating images right out of his heart. Take a long look here and you'll see what I mean.......

rebirth,
awake now so
starting feels good
puckered for kisses, as
you may end later, still
lasting, tiny time machines in
you may feel that many clouds
are in the sky, yes you may,
you certainly may have
a hell of a body, then vanish.
under the silence,
clouds talk in the strands
of your hair, before the night
comes, all the days in
youth feeling and older,
you will, then you wont
have it, it is this
way on and off you'll
go, not recalling
a thing, popping lathered
up in a criminals
pants or conning
a ski resort
victim, seems not
connected.. hmmm?
not even another waking up
or down in your body's path
can change what looks
permanent to what isn't
though fragrant claims
are flowering
on your tongue.

9/11, Deep State Violence and the Hope of Internet Politics

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 06:59:18 -0700

From the page: "The FBI has been declassifying documents cooperatively with respect to this commitment, and recently the CIA has begun to cooperate as well.79 But some federal agencies, notably the FAA and Pentagon, are not collaborating with the 9/11 Commission�s commitment at all. It may take a law to get them to do so. Both the FAA and the Pentagon declined to release important records to the 9/11 Commission, despite its statutory powers, until required to do so by judicial subpoena.80 But the law which created the 9/11 Commission in 2002 made no legal determination for the future of its records.81

This is a matter of concern, because 9/11 has clearly initiated a major readjustment of our traditional constitutional balances and civil rights. I submit that a vigorous defense of the constitutional traditions of this country requires vigorous pressure for the release of the 9/11 Commission�s records, so that we can begin to resolve the mysteries of how this constitutional crisis arose.

In short, we are living in an on-going state of emergency whose exact limits are unknown, on the basis of a controversial deep event �" 9/11 -- that is still largely a mystery. Without endorsing the notion that a coup d�état has occurred, I would categorically assert that a radically hegemonic mindset, located primarily in Vice-President Cheney�s office, is currently using 9/11, the war on terror, and secret COG rules to assert prerogative limitations on the checks and balances of the U.S. constitution, without any significant challenge from a compliant Congress and media.

stepping
into the
roadway of
the sun, we
see it rotating
around us. The
particles are empty
space right? And
though this is not the way
I thought it would feel,
hard as a water balloon,
frozen in the icebox,
solidity is a vain description
of something that is coming apart.

Gravity can't be silent when
this surface tension is heard.
That being the case, both the insect
and the Pachyderm meet at your
elbow, kneeling before the images
made. Matter is a fiction, a useful
fiction none the less. Your binding
the rails of your hopscotch patterns
are a wave and not a stuff, particles
clotting at the edge of identity. Smell
in color, or die blinded by the nature
of windows. What is odd is that the
contrast between what we see and what
we think we see occurs at the same instant
that we assemble the backup for this, the somewhat obvious
event horizon that flies beneath your feet and seems like
a day in June, the rain patters at the tarmac and steams up
around hot shoes...I, we, stand on the curb; patterns being what
they are, still tend to take us into the sameness we think is so different.

I love this album of Mason's...just because he is my eldest son....
and also because he is a great song writer and musician. go and listen to "Brownies Lament" or the Title song "When Humans Walked the Earth", and you will see and hear it too.
